The pagan world before Christ claimed 4 cardinal virtues: Prudence, Temperance, Fortitude, and Justice. And while Christianity still affirms the importance of each of these, it was the first worldview to place Faith, Hope, and Love as the highest virtues. Each of these governs a perspective: toward God (faith), toward life (hope), and toward humanity (love). We explore why these 3 are at the core of who we are and why the greatest is love.
